“The Protective Umbrella of COVID-19”

Artist Statement
“The COVID-19 pandemic has been ongoing for three years, which makes me understand the importance of taking medical protection measures to safeguard myself and others. Habits such as wearing a mask when sick, frequent handwashing, and covering sneezes can help create a cleaner living environment down the line.”
Artist Info
“I am a Madison-based artist. The subjects of my art often include the things I experience in life. I photograph nature, buildings, or still life and produce works interpreted from those photos. Though I work in the financial field, I spend my spare time painting. Painting provides balance in my life. While producing art, I feel calm and peaceful. I hope to bring these feelings to others through my artwork.”
